Top 10 Best Deals on Leftover 2011 Models
October 13, 2011
With the model year changeover in full effect, if you're serious about getting a good deal, now is the time to start looking.
The experts at CarDirect.com have put together a list of their top 10 choices based on a combination of price and value.
The list includes vehicles from BMW, Chevy, Ford, Honda, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz and two each from Jeep and Toyota.
These are all leftover 2011 models, which means the deals will be gone as soon as dealers can get rid of these models. Among them are five passenger cars, four SUVs and a minivan.
- 2011 BMW 3-Series
With a redesigned 2012 expected soon, there is an average 13% off MSRP on the current 2011 edition. - 2011 Chevrolet Malibu
With discounts of $4,000 below MSRP, this is among the most affordable family sedans. - 2011 Ford Flex
The 2012 model is already on the lot so old iron needs discounts to move it on out. - 2011 Honda Pilot
Redesigned 2012s are already here so prices are slashed on remaining 2011 stock. - 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Almost sold out and the 2012 model is here, but the 2011s are about 10% cheaper. - 2011 Jeep Liberty
Look for discounts of about $4,000 below MSRP. - 2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
A redesigned 2012 will be here soon and there are too many 2011 models still on the lot. - 2011 Nissan Altima
Both model years are available, while Nissan is putting out incentives to reach sales goals. - 2011 Toyota Camry
The redesigned 2012 is here, but there remains an ample supply of leftover models. - 2011 Toyota Sienna
With a recent redesign, there are plenty on hand that should soon gain incentives as the 2012 models arrive.
